Anyone who meditates a couple of years knows: Tests are coming! Situations come up where you are going to get it from all sides. After you’ve diligently searched for a loophole, or a way to avoid the inevitable, you have to decide either to surrender or to stop meditating.

 But here is news for you. The divine will ensure that everyone gets these tests; if you meditate or not you are going to get them. Some are easy others are not, the best ones are the ones who hit you where it really hurts. Of course this is totally individual. For one, it’s the (nonexistent) marriage or the (nonexistent) children, for another, it is the parents who are settling into a foreign country, or the pressure at work.

 I always imagine, that there are test angels flying around like Cupid’s arrows, and hit accurately. And just like during a test at school, there are two options: either you succeed or you fail. Either you trust at some point the divine or you keep searching on and on make detours until you’re finally miles away from your Spirit. Coming back from there can be very difficult. Relying on the divine does not mean falling into passivity. It is rather an attitude. People are willing to accept God’s solutions (which may differ from their own ideas). Anyway, with our minds we can only understand a little part of our lives someone very different is able to see the big picture ….

My first big test was when I was 14 years old. I had to realize that I’m not going to be the worlds best table tennis player. Today I am grateful for that. I probably would have been so busy with all the fame and autograph sessions, that I wouldn’t have found time to practise Sahaja Yoga. As a result I couldn’t share my current knowledge with the world.
